A group of young people and a few adults stand outdoors near an orange-washed building with a green awning and a tree. Many have faces and clothes smeared with bright pink, blue, yellow and purple powder. A woman in a white sari with a yellow-green shawl looks upward, and a girl in the foreground wears a pastel gown streaked with colour. A young girl in a white top with a rudraksha-style mala and a boy in a pale checked shirt at the lower right are also visible. The scene reads as a colour-powder celebration. No identifiable a person figure is visible among the people.
